The Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Armenia held a meeting at an international conference in London on January 28, RA MFA spokesman Tigran Balayan told PanARMENIAN.Net.

The informal meeting marked the first face-to-face talk since the Armenian Constitutional Court delivered a ruling on the protocols that seek to normalize diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey.

As reported by Hurriyet Daily News, Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian agreed to meet on the sidelines of a security conference next week in Munich, Germany, for more bilateral talks.

The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks held through Swiss mediation.

On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law.

Commenting on the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that “the decision contains preconditions and restrictive provisions which impair the letter and spirit of the Protocols.”

”The decision undermines the very reason for negotiating these Protocols as well as their fundamental objective. This approach cannot be accepted on our part. Turkey, in line with its accustomed allegiance to its international commitments, maintains its adherence to the primary provisions of these Protocols. We expect the same allegiance from the Armenian Government,” the Ministry said.
